I mentioned a few days back a very interesting article on the OnJava.com site describing the evolution of the web, being commonly called Web 2.0. There was an amazing fact burried several pages into the article describing the fact that the Flickr website, am online photo album service which incidently is now owned by Yahoo, builds and deploys their code ‘on a good day’ every half hour.
This is an amazing fact and shows that it really can be done. It just goes to show that projects that struggle with their build and deploy processes really are making it hard for themselves with the processes they adopt, and it is possible to be able to build and deploy with an automated process on a very regular bases.
